+# VANTA Research
+
+**Mission:**  
+VANTA Research exists to explore the hidden failure modes and reasoning blind spots of today’s AI systems.  
+We specialize in pushing beyond conventional benchmarks to uncover behaviors invisible to standard evaluation methods.
+
+---
+
+## Research Focus
+
+- **Reasoning Efficiency**  
+  Developing semantic evaluation frameworks (e.g., **VRRE**) that measure reasoning ability at a deeper level than surface-level benchmarks.
+
+- **Failure Mode Discovery**  
+  Systematically probing models to document collapse states, deceptive patterns, and reasoning blind spots.
+
+- **Alignment & Safety**  
+  Innovating methodologies to make reasoning transparent, interpretable, and resilient to misalignment.
+
+---
+
+## Open Source Contributions
+
+- **VRRE (VANTA Research Reasoning Evaluation)**  
+  An open-source semantic benchmark for reasoning, designed to detect shifts invisible to standard metrics.  
+  *License: Apache 2.0*
+
+- Collapse Analysis Reports  
+  Case studies on model behaviors (apology loops, refusal spirals, semantic drift) across leading OSS and frontier models.  
+  *Available via Zenodo & GitHub.*
+
+---
+
+## Philosophy
+
+We believe AI alignment will not be solved in isolation.  
+It requires **rapid testing, iteration, and decentralized discovery** — making scientific progress accessible to anyone, anywhere.
